Maximize a tiny room with these small-space decorating ideas for rooms under 800 square feet.

Wyoming Cabin Bedroom

Wyoming Cabin Bedroom

The interior's most distinctive quality is how every inch counts. Instead of bedside tables, the owners of this 665-square-foot Wyoming cabin have slim, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes with ledges just wide enough for a clock or vase. There's no linen closet or spare sheets. But one entire shelf is dedicated to the family's art supplies, and another to table runners and cloth napkins—joie de vivre essentials that really earn their keep. A Salvation Army score, the mirror over the bed acts as the master bedroom's second window, opening up the 8-by-13-foot space.

Illinois Bungalow Living Room

Dark colors can actually create the illusion of depth in small rooms. Every wall is painted the same charcoal hue in the living room of this 1,000-square-foot Jacksonville, Illinois bungalow. Pink pillows and weathered woods offer contrasting colors and textures.
